Back in 2017, when Amy Coney Barrett was undergoing confirmation hearings for her nomination to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein expressed concern about Judge Barrett’s devotion to her Catholic faith. “The dogma lives loudly within you,” Feinstein said. Two years later, Brian Buescher, a nominee to the federal bench in Ohio, faced criticism from Democratic Sens. Kamala Harris and Mazie Hirono for his membership in the Knights of Columbus. Then, an article in the Atlantic magazine argued that the Catholic rosary symbolized religious radicalism and had become a “weapon” for those dangerous white Christian nationalists. The author of the article, Daniel Panneton, wrote that “rosary beads have been woven into a conspiratorial politics and absolutist gun culture.” Most recently, a former FBI special agent produced an internal memo from the FBI’s Richmond office that characterized as a domestic threat “Radical Traditionalist Catholic ideology.” The memo even created a new acronym for this threat group — RTC (Radical Traditional Catholics). To paraphrase Martin Niemoller, they are coming for traditional Catholics.
Traditional Roman Catholic Church teaching does not fit in well with modern progressive wokeism. The Church teaches, for example, that marriage is between a man and a woman; that men and women are defined by biology, not choice; that unborn children are human persons who should be protected by law; and that there are only two genders — male and female. The Church’s positions on these matters were once considered mainstream, but no more. The woke agenda seeks to ban traditional Catholics from the public square. It says to traditional Catholics: quietly practice your faith, but leave your faith at the church door when you discuss public...

Catholics ?
.
Baptists smoke tobacco is why.
Why don’t they just stop their welfare payments?
Ping
Hmm ... Latin speaking Traditional Catholics know that there are THREE genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter. We also know that there are two sexes: male and female.
Has anyone asked Nancy about all this?
I tell people the same thing.
The fake pope and most of the Bishops are fine.
They’re already here.
Another ploy for division by godless left,create division
where there isn’t...
Practicing or not you are what you are.No atheists in
a foxhole !
Christians could just stop paying taxes as we’re no longer being represented by this govt.
it makes no sense to pay them to attack us.
I wish Catholics were as a big a threat as the FBI liked to imagine. Some of groups listed on the FBI watch list aren’t “Latin Mass only” types so that’s not the reason
This is religious persecution by the Federal Government.
I am a latim mass catholic. Are biggest danger is not from The govt but from the current pope and his compliant bishops
“The dogma lives loudly within you,” Feinstein said... said the Senator whose driver was a Chicom spy. No problem with that -- just don't believe in Christ.
I find it somewhat humorous in a way that they would want to go after traditional catholics, or the people in the Church would want to do it. Because they’re so few of them and they’re so ineffectual and not influential. I say this to someone who goes to TLM. But the reality is many traditionalists are the worst advertisements for their own beliefs.

The One True Faith is what’s being attacked, together with those who hold and practice that faith.
Are we not talking about the authentic faith?
At this late date, it won’t do to call that faith “traditional”, or those people who practice it “traditionalist”. To accept this kind of talk is to permit others to conclude that Catholicism is splitting into pieces, such as is currently seen among “our elder brothers”, reform, conservative, orthodox, etc. It’s just not true.
Attacked from within. the smoke of satan is suffocating in Rome these days.
Rumor has it the pope is going to ban ordinations of seminarians from the Society of St Peter. Thats the only outfit training new Latin Rite priests.
